HA HA !

My neighbour was buiding a bonfire in his field on Friday, and got TWO slitties and a trailer stuck in the mud. He asked me if I would bring my tractor up and tow them out. TRACTOR!!!!!

I went with my TD5 Disco (traction control) and had both slitties and the trailer out in ten minutes, without hardly even making a tyre mark on the grass!

I told him ... slitty 4x4s are fine for posing and road use, but for off-road and mud, get a LandRover. Basically, if you go off road NOT in a LandRover you'll probably need to ask someone with a LandRover to pull you out.

more to the point what oil have yer got in yer engine and what mpg was yer getting while pulling
 
and did yer have yer pants on outside yer trousers?

The original Michelin road tyres now on 44,000 miles.
I want more of these but apparently Michelin don't make them any more.
Michelin 4 x 4 M&S 105H 235/70R 16 X PC

They were both Toyota things, autos, with quite knobbly tyres, and I towed them out backwards using my front towbar.

Both drivers were a bit silly driving into a field without walking it first.
Flat fields may be flat, and no rocks or holes, but that does not mean they aren't WET, SOFT and SLIMY.

I stayed on the higher drier bits and did the recovery using a 60 foot kevlar rope. They didn't realise that. They just thought the Disco was a miracle. No point in being silly about it!

Engine oil was ..... Ovoline Tractor Universal.

Got another Disco on Sunday .... and old 200 TDI needing a chassis.
Anyone got a 200 TDI chassis?
